AFTER A year-long makeover, the Bird RockTrail at Point Lobos State Reserve will open thisweek to wheelchair-bound visitors — including oneoutdoor enthusiast whose remarkable story puts ahuman face on the ADA-accessible trail.

Because the trail project utilized labor providedby the California Conservation Corps, the director ofits Monterey Bay center, Brenda Herrmann, wasinvolved in it from the start. But after she suffered ahorrific New Year’s Eve 2010 motorcycle crash onHighway 1, Herrmann’s role took an unexpected —and ultimately inspiring — turn.

After the accident, Herrmann spent a month at theStanford University Medical Center.

FIRST TEE OPEN FIGHTS CRIME WITH GOLFBy MARY SCHLEY

WITH GANG members being routinely arrestedfor burglaries, drugs and other crimes on the MontereyPeninsula, and kids being drawn into the crime-ladengroups at younger and younger ages, programs like TheFirst Tee of Monterey County — which is holding itsannual golf tournament for kids and Champions Tourpros at Pebble Beach and Del Monte Golf Course thisweekend — are increasingly important. So says FirstTee Monterey County executive director Barry Phillips,though he’s careful not to cast the program as onefocused on gang intervention.

Rather, The First Tee helps kids develop nine crucialcore values through learning the game of golf and tak-ing classes offered at its facility at Twin Creeks GolfCourse in Salinas. While it’s open to children from anydemographic and background, the majority of the 6,000kids it serves come from tough East Salinas.

“Through our youth character development pro-gram, we’re showing kids that positive actions havepositive outcomes, and they have choices,” he said,adding that many of the thousands of children whoattend First Tee programs have lost siblings to gangmembership and violence.

“Their parents have learned this is a safe place forthem to come,” he said. “Hopefully, this will stop or atleast slow down gang membership.”

‘Promote healthy choices through golf’The nonprofit’s mission is to “impact the lives of

young people by providing educational programs thatbuild character, instill life-enhancing values and pro-

Winery sues eventssupervisor over kickbacks, price-fixingn Attorney for caterer calls allegations ‘outrageous’

By KELLY NIX

CHATEAU JULIEN Wine Estate has filed a lawsuitagainst an ex-manager and the owner of a well known cater-ing company for a commercial bribery scheme it says causedthe winery to lose tens of thousands of dollars.

In a lawsuit filed June 25, Chateau Julien accuses its for-mer special events manager Michele Gogliucci and Michael’sCatering owner Terry Teplitzki of conspiring to inflateinvoices, divert business, pay illegal kickbacks and otherpractices that undermined the winery’s business.

The pair “engaged in a scheme of bribes to Gogliucci[from] Teplitzky,” using money that should have gone toChateau Julien, according to its 11-page lawsuit.

The suit, filed for Chateau Julien by Laguna Beach attor-ney Marshall Pearlman, seeks an undisclosed amount indamages, restitution, attorneys’ fees and other costs. Thewinery is also seeking punitive damages, which state lawallows a judge or jury to award in cases of “malice, oppres-sion or fraud.”

The claim against Teplitzky comes on the heels of a June19 lawsuit he filed against Chateau Julien in which Teplitzkyalleges the winery owes him $114,272.43 for catering and

Sandy Claws By Lisa Crawford Watson

Energy to the MaxHIS NAME was Zippy, and it fit. But for a woman

whose name begins with M, as did her dogs’ Mickey,Minnie and Munchkin, Zippy wouldn’t do. She namedhim Maximilian because it is dignified but nicknamedhim Max because it is as small as he is. Yet she callshim Maxaroo.

Despite his tiny, 12-pound frame, his long legs andtendency to jump instead of walk have convinced herhe is part Yorkshire terrier and part kangaroo.

Discovered wandering the streets, and sheltered atthe SPCA, Max was less than a year old when trans-ferred to Lucky Paws Rescue in Morgan Hill, a nonprofitorganization dedicated to reducing the number ofhomeless pets in the community.

On the urging of a friend, his person went to visit thedog and watched him jump from carpet to couch tocoffee table. She heard the warnings about his poten-tial disciplinary problems, but she also realized she hadbonded with him the moment they met. She broughthim home to Carmel and began working to get used tothe energy she had introduced to her quiet home.

At first, Max seemed scared, and took to followinghis person around the house as if fearful she might

abandon him. But once she let him climb into the chair,the couch, the bed by her side, he began to settle inand maybe even trust his new home.

Just over a year later, either Max has calmed down,or she has gotten used to his vigor. She always hashigh hopes a long walk through town or a romp onCarmel Beach might wear him out, but she knows he’sstill going to come home and jump through hoops totry to please and entertain her. And she wouldn’t haveit any other way.

Marina Coast files claim againstcounty, says damages could be $20M

By KELLY NIX

IN A move the general manager ofMarina Coast Water District said is neces-sary to protect its ratepayers, the agency hasfiled a claim against Monterey County overthe defunct $400 million RegionalDesalination Project.

In a 23-page claim filed June 28 againstthe county and its water resources agency,Marina Coast is seeking “monetary damagesin excess of $25,000, and potentially inexcess of $20,000,000,” according to docu-ments filed by Marina Coast agency attorneyMark Fogelman.

A claim against a public entity is a pre-requisite before a lawsuit can be filed.

Because the county pulled the plug on theregional desal plan, Marina Coast “hasincurred legal costs, project managementcosts, funding costs and experienced lostfunding opportunities,” according to Marina

Coast’s claim. The district is also seekingaward of punitive damages from the county,which state law permits in cases of grossnegligence or intentional fraud.

Marina Coast, the county water resourcesagency and California American Water werepartners in the regional desalination projectbefore the plan began unraveling late lastyear because of the conflict of interest alle-gations against a former county water direc-tor and snags over water rights.

In a press release last week, Marina Coastgeneral manager Jim Heitzman said filingthe claim wasn’t a move that came easily.

“Our goal has always been to deliver aregional solution to the Peninsula’s watersupply problems that was both effective andat the lowest rates possible,” according toHeitzman, “and we are deeply disappointedthat we have now been pushed to take this

P.G. may bow out of mayor’s water groupBy KELLY NIX

THE PACIFIC Grove City Council maydecide to bow out of a joint effort byMonterey Peninsula cities to get a new waterproject and pursue its own water deal.

On July 11, the council will discusswhether it should continue its membership inthe Monterey Peninsula Regional WaterAuthority — a group composed of the sixPeninsula mayors, including Pacific Grove’s,to help identify the best water project for thearea.

Two months ago, Pacific Grove decidedto take the lead on a desalination project pro-posed by developer Nader Agha. It made thedecision without consulting the mayor’sgroup — which was formed with the intentto address the Peninsula’s water problems

with “once voice.”P.G. Mayor Carmelita Garcia said she

now has doubts about the city’s role in themayor’s water group. Among her concerns isthe tens of thousands of dollars P.G. mighthave to spend to help pay for staff, clericalwork, attorneys’ fees and other expenses tobe a part of it.

“What is our place?” she told The PineCone Monday. “We have to have a seriousconversation about that now.”

In late April, Del Rey Oaks Mayor JerryEdelen told The Pine Cone that Garcia “wasno longer an independent player” in thewater authority group because of her supportfor Agha’s proposal. He predicted Garciawould have to abstain on voting on certain

Bag ban to take effect in February 2013By MARY SCHLEY

THE CITY council on Tuesday voted toban plastic shopping bags in Carmel and cer-tified a study showing the new law wouldn’thave a negative effect on the environment.

A requirement that businesses charge forpaper bags was eliminated from the pro-posed ordinance after shopkeepers com-plained, but a volunteer group is working onways to convince shoppers to buy and carryreusable bags, rather than the paper bags thatstores will offer once the ban kicks in sevenmonths from now.

In his report for the council July 3, plan-ning and building services manager SeanConroy explained the reasons for the ordi-nance and said such bans are increasinglycommon.

“Communities throughout the state and

across the country are recognizing the envi-ronmental impacts that single-use carryoutbags, especially plastic bags, can have on theenvironment,” he said. “Ordinances banningsingle-use bags are becoming more commonas communities seek to address problemsrelated to litter and solid waste. Due to thefact that plastic takes a long time to breakdown or decompose (frequently estimated tobe hundreds of years), plastic litter causes acumulatively adverse impact on both the nat-ural and manmade environments.”

Largely unchanged from the version thecouncil initially adopted last month, the banprovides exceptions for restaurants and non-profits. It also has a delayed effective date togive business owners time to use up theirstocks of plastic bags. Once in effect, stores

Council OKs sales tax ballot language By MARY SCHLEY

HAVING ALREADY decided to ask vot-ers in November to increase the city’s salestax rate by 1 percentage point for the next 10years, the Carmel City Council on Tuesdayspent some time word-smithing the para-graph that will appear on the ballot. Councilmembers have said the tax increase, whichwill raise another $2 million for the city bud-get, is essential to maintaining basic servicesand preserving the town.

Doug Lumsden, representing the CarmelChamber of Commerce, and BarbaraLivingston, speaking for the CarmelResidents Association, both supported thetax, which would add money to the generalfund and therefore will only require a simplemajority to pass.

“The board of the Carmel Residents

Association strongly recommended that youmove forward with sales tax increase,”Livingston said at the July 3 meeting. “Wecommend you for doing it. It is going tobring revenue that is desperately needed bythe city.”

Although the council already debated thetax at length and decided on its percentageincrease and term, member Paula Hazdovacasked city attorney Don Freeman how itcould be lowered, if necessary.

“If we found that this had a detrimentaleffect on people who want to make high-endpurchases, how can we undo this, hypotheti-cally?” she asked.

Freeman said the council could adopt anordinance lowering the tax rate, since votersneed only be asked to approve increases, not

A JUDGE last week threw out a lawsuit against the Cityof Pacific Grove filed by the wife of a man who was struckand killed in front of the P.G. Middle School nearly fouryears ago.

On June 29, MontereyCounty Superior CourtJudge Kay Kingsley granteda motion by Pacific Grove todismiss the suit, which wasbrought by Adrianna Woods,the wife of Joel Woods, 35,who was fatally injured onForest Avenue when driverDeborah King struck himSept. 2, 2008, with herBMW SUV as Woods waspicking his son from school.

At the time, King washigh on prescriptionpainkillers and other drugs;she also had five previousDUIs. But Woods claimedthe city was at fault because the street where her husband wasstruck was not a “reasonably safe drop-off and pickup area.”

She asked the court to order the city to compensate her forwage loss, loss of earning capacity, hospital and medical,funeral and burial and other expenses.

But Kingsley ruled the passenger loading zone was notsufficiently dangerous for the city the be held liable. The casehad been set for a September trial.

“While we sympathize strongly with the Woods Familyfor the loss of Joel Woods,” according to attorney Jon Giffenwith the Kennedy, Archer & Harray, the Monterey law firmthat defended the city in the suit, “under the circumstances,the judge effectively found that the accident was not caused

In February 2011, King was found guilty of gross vehicu-lar manslaughter for Woods’ death and sentenced to 15 yearsto life in prison.

Woods also sued the P.G. school district, and that lawsuitis scheduled for an Aug. 3 hearing. The school district’s attor-neys are also asking to have that claim thrown out.

A message left Tuesday with the Steven Brady, the SanRafael attorney for the Woods family, was not returned.

Judge says city not liable for death offather at middle school

by the city’s decision to allow parking in front of the middleschool but by a driver who was heavily under the influence ofprescription drugs.”

After the crash, King, 54, was arrested for felony drivingunder the influence of prescription drugs. According to thecity’s attorneys, she tested positive for an extensive list ofdrugs in her system including marijuana, morphine, Vicodin,Xanax, Ambian, Wellbutrin and other antidepressants.

Casa Palmero guest room catches fireBy MARY SCHLEY

SMOKE DRIFTING under the door of aguest room at Casa Palmero led a hotelemployee to discover a fire burning in thewall above a fireplace Friday morning,according to Cal Fire Assistant Chief DennisCarreiro. The guests, who were out gettingbreakfast at the time, had used the fireplacethe night before, and Carreiro speculated thefire had been smoldering for hours.

“Smoke was coming through the wall andout the door,” said Carreiro, who was first onthe scene around 11:40 a.m. June 29. “It wasburning in the wall and smoldered in therefor a while.”

The employee used a fire extinguisherand firefighters broke the wall open to getwater on the fire.

“We ripped the wall and the ceiling open

above the fireplace. There wasn’t a lot ofactive fire,” he said.

All told, 18 firefighters on three enginesfrom Pebble Beach Fire and the Carmel Hillstation responded to the fire, which Carreirospeculated caused between $7,000 and$10,000 in damage.

Although the fire clearly started whenpart of the framing in the wall behind thefireplace became heated to the point of beingcombustible, Carreiro said he wasn’t sure ifit was due to a flaw in the manufactured fire-place, or if the guests had simply built toolarge a fire the night before.

“Somehow, heat left the fireplace andcaused the fire in the framing,” he said. “It’snot uncommon, but we just see more of theseonly because there are more of these manu-factured fireplaces out there, which in turn isgoing to increase the number of incidents.”

FIRST TEEFrom page 1A

mote healthy choices through the game ofgolf,” is implemented through its First TeeGolf and Life Skills Experience. Dividedinto five levels, the program’s classroomlessons complement the teaching of golfskills. “The program is self-paced, encourag-ing participants to explore and assess theirabilities and set corresponding goals” tomeet requirements established for all thechapters in the nation.

The whole idea is to “keep them activeand having fun,” Phillips said, while cultivat-ing in them nine core values: honesty,integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confi-dence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesyand judgment. They learn to respect them-selves, their peers and their surroundings,“and that translates to any situation.”

“Hopefully they’ll gain the self-confi-dence to say, ‘I don’t need the gang — I’mgoing to stick with this thing called The FirstTee,’” he said. Ideally, they’ll stick with itthrough the roller coaster of adolescence andhigh school, and even into college.

Buses carrying 60 or 70 children roll in toTwin Creeks throughout the day, droppingthem off for golf instruction and classes, aswell as after-school and Saturday programs,according to Phillips. The 3-to-4 p.m. PowerHour, for instance, includes a healthy snackand homework help, followed by First Teeactivities starting at 4.

“We opened here in 2004,” he said. “Andthere has been a dramatic and noticeablechange” in the students who have grown upthrough the program.

He pointed to students like Salinas HighSchool senior Elizabeth Leavitt, who is play-ing in this weekend’s tournament, whichincludes 81 junior golfers from all over thenation and 81 Champions Tour profession-als, paired with 162 amateur players.

“The first time she ever held a golf clubwas here at The First Tee,” he said. When shearrived six or seven years ago, “you couldn’tget her to make eye contact,” but “she hasgrown into a vibrant young lady who’s goingto do great things, and she gives The FirstTee credit for it.”

Her experience is not unusual, either.“We have many stacked up behind her

with the same story. The comments comingfrom their parents are, ‘What are you doingto my child?’ — and they’re saying that in agood way,” Phillips said, as they observe sub-stantial, positive changes in their kids.

Teachers in the Alisal school district arealso huge supporters of The First Tee,according to Phillips, because it helps theirstudents learn valuable lessons they don’t

have time to teach.“We know the pressure they’re under to

deliver reading and math, and they don’thave the time to work on the character devel-opment they would like to,” he said.

While many First Tee participants end upcultivating their skills to become finegolfers, “the character development is whatwe’re all about — that’s our No. 1 priority,”Phillips said. “It’s not to produce the nextTiger Woods or Michelle Wie — it’s aboutdeveloping future citizens.”

Tournament’s importanceThe Nature Valley First Tee Open at

Pebble Beach, being played at the PebbleBeach Golf Links and Del Monte GolfCourse through Sunday, is essential for thecontinuing vitality of the Monterey Countychapter, which operates on a $2.2 millionannual budget.

“This tournament is one of the majorsources of funding for our chapter,” Phillipssaid. “It provides close to 40 percent of ourannual revenue.” Besides, it’s hard to beat aticket price of $35 for several days’ spectat-ing at Pebble Beach. “It’s one of the bestdeals you’ll find on the PGA Tour and theChampions Tour,” he said.

While one of his goals is to get SalinasValley leaders to understand the importanceof the program to the area’s future — “lettingthem appreciate that most of these childrenare children of the employees of their busi-nesses” — he also wants to increasePeninsula kids’ participation.

The First Tee offered satellite programsand golf instruction at Laguna Seca GolfRanch for a while but had to cut those offer-ings at the end of 2010 to save money.

“We need to get back on the Peninsula,”Phillips said, especially since many parentshere are unwilling or unable to drive theirchildren to Salinas to take advantage of TheFirst Tee.

“We’ve also been talking with CaliforniaState University Monterey Bay about a pos-sible partnership,” he said. The CSUMBOtters may develop a practice facility for thegolf team that The First Tee could share.

More than three-quarters of First Tee kidsattend on some sort of scholarship.

“We’ve never turned any child away,” hesaid. And while 6,000 may seem like a lot,“we have 57,000 children in our target agerange in Monterey County.”

The First Tee Open begins at 7:30 a.m.Friday and Saturday, July 6 and 7. Sunday’sfinal round will see all the pros, the top 23juniors and the 10 best-scoring amateurteams at Pebble Beach, while everyone elsewill play at Del Monte.

other services.“Before Chateau Julien filed their suit,

this was a simple collection dispute for longoverdue payments for catering jobsMichael’s performed at Chateau Julien,”Teplitzky’s attorney, Robert Rosenthal toldThe Pine Cone. “The two businesses have a15-year history, and Michael’s had historical-ly cooperated with Chateau Julien by allow-ing it to be paid late.”

Rosenthal said the winery’s claimsagainst Michael’s and Teplitzky — who theattorney said has “one of the finest reputa-tions on the Central Coast as a high qualitycaterer” — are baseless.

“Now they respond to our collection suitwith outrageous assertions which are totallygroundless,” Rosenthal said, “and an obviousattempt to rationalize why they have not paidMichael’s over $100,000 for catering ser-vices, for which they have been paid.”

Chateau Julien’s lawsuit, filed inMonterey County Superior Court, allegesGogliucci — who began working at the busi-ness in 1990 before she was fired in March2012 — negotiated discounts with Teplitzkywhile billing him for full price, and thenpocketed a portion of the overpayments.

The lawsuit contends a “hidden file” onthe winery’s computer system indicated thatmultiple invoices were submitted byTeplitzky to Gogliucci showing “differentprices for services already rendered, and that“the invoice finally submitted by Gogliuccifor payment to Teplitzky invariably showed asubstantially higher amount.”

Chateau Julien also accuses Gogliucci ofmaking Michael’s Catering the “exclusive”

caterer for special events, such as weddingsand corporate parties, which the winery saidviolated its non-exclusive vendor policy anddidn’t allow for competitive bidding.

Furthermore, the lawsuit contends otheremail messages indicate that Gogliucci, withTeplitzky’s assistance, intentionally divertedbusiness away from Chateau Julien to otherlocal venues.

Gogliucci, according to the winery, wasbelieved to be a “valued and trusted employ-ee,” until the final months, when she“became increasingly territorial and private,”and isolated her department from the winery.

Chateau Julien claims that Gogliucci did-n’t cash two of her paychecks, took a month-long trip to India and co-signed for her adultson’s school tuition fees and rent, surmisingthat her income was a result of “kickbacks”given to her by Teplitzky from inflatedinvoices she approved.

“Her behavior fell into the pattern thatwas typical of an employee who might havebeen tempted to augment her income fromunconventional sources,” according to theclaim. She was fired in March.

The Pine Cone couldn’t reach Gogliuccifor comment, but the day before ChateauJulien filed suit, she posted a scenic photo onher Facebook page of Pokhara, Nepal, tellinga friend, “You would love this place.”

Chateau Julien owner Bob Browerdeclined to comment on either lawsuit.

In his suit against Chateau Julien,Teplitzky alleges the winery is four yearspast due in the $114,272 it owes him forcatering, goods and services. Teplitzky isseeking the amount owed, plus 10 percentinterest and attorneys’ fees.

Rosenthal said Chateau Julien is trying to“explain its failure to pay by attacking myclient through absurd claims it will not beable to prove.”

AJAXFrom page 1A

Torres said her family had been lookingfor a dog since their 12-year-old cat died.Last Friday, Torres again looked at the SPCAwebsite, but didn’t find the pet she was look-ing for. That changed the next day.

“On Saturday, I checked it again,” shesaid. “And I saw his picture. I said ‘this is thedog I want.’”

Torres quickly went to the SPCA’s facili-ty off of Highway 68 to meet him. However,when she arrived, another woman who wasconsidering adopting him had the shepherdin an SPCA pen. Undeterred, Torres said sheapproached the women, assertively asking ifshe was going to adopt him or not.

“The moment she put him back ... I said‘I’m going to take him,’” Torres explained.

“It was love at first sight.” The SPCA believes before they got to the

dog — which workers named Billy — it des-perately tried for days to climb the rockycliff, cutting its paws in the process. Despitewidespread media coverage of the rescue,nobody came forward to claim it.

And though Torres had seen a TV newsstory about Billy, she at first had no idea thedog she was interested in was the same onesaved in the cliff-rescue. “The people at theSPCA front desk told me,” she said. “I didn’tput two and two together.”

Torres, who has three children and a hus-band, said Ajax is settling in perfectly and isenjoying walks around the neighborhood.Though it’s technically a family dog, Torressaid she it’s clear to her kids and husbandthat Ajax is really her dog.

“For some reason,” she said, “I feel socomfortable with him.”

between 1960 and 1974 by Gerson Bakar and Steve Jacobs.It underwent an extensive renovation in 2006.

Founded by Jeremiah W. O’Connor Jr. as the O’ConnorGroup in 1983, the company that acquired the shopping cen-ter last week says it is “focused on principle investingthrough private equity funds. Over the past 25 years, it hasacquired or developed more than $20 billion of property “onbehalf of various investment funds, institutional clients andits own account.”

O’Connor’s website says it is “currently investing a $500million fund focused on retail property in the United Statesand Mexico.” Although the company is based in New YorkCity, it maintains a regional office in Mexico City.

The company’s founder died in 2010. His son, BillO’Connor, is listed as the firm’s managing partner.

ROUSSEAUFrom page 1A

“I may have created PacRep, but John is the one who builtit,” said Stephen Moorer, PacRep’s executive director. “Thereis no possible way to replace a man of his talents. John wasmy friend, ally, business partner and sage for 29 years. Wordscannot express this profoundsense of loss.”

Dan Gotch, PacRep’s dra-maturg and literary manager,was caught off guard byRousseau’s death.

“It was a surprise and agenuine loss to our artisticcommunity,” Gotch told ThePine Cone. “He was a greatactor to work with, and henever quit trying to makewhatever he was working onbetter. As a director, he hadthe wonderful ability tomake the cast go that extramile. He was a Renaissanceman. He was also a great paland we had some greattimes.”

After growing up in Bryson — a rural community locat-ed near Lake San Antonio — Rousseau moved to theMonterey Peninsula in 1966 to attend Monterey PeninsulaCollege, where he took his first theater classes. After a stintin the army, he returned to Monterey County and joined atheater group in Carmel Valley called The Magic CarpetBand, which performed children’s fairy tales.

In 1984, Rousseau joined Grovemont Theater, whichMoorer had founded two years earlier. The theater companychanged its name to PacRep Theatre a decade later.

Rousseau is survived by his wife, director, choreographerand actress Maryann Schaupp-Rousseau.

Big Sur’s natural beauty perfectmatch for painter’s neo-classical art

By CHRIS COUNTS

IN AN exhibit opening Saturday, July 7,at Winfield Gallery, one of MontereyCounty’s most accomplished artists takes alook at one of nature’s greatest creations.

David Ligare, whose neo-classical workhas earned him widespread acclaim, presentsa display of paintings depicting the Big Surcoast.

Inspired by the writings of JohnSteinbeck and Robinson Jeffers, Ligaremoved to Monterey County more than fourdecades ago. Shortly after arriving, he renteda cabin just south of Deetjen’s Big Sur Inn. “Iwas fortunate to find a small house on

Rancho Santa Margarita in Big Sur where Iwas surrounded by the wild beauty thatJeffers had described so profoundly,” Ligarerecalled.

More than 40 years later, Ligare hasturned his attention once again to Big Sur —a place where, in his words, “time standsstill.”

“Many styles and fashions in art havebloomed and faded in that time, but the land-scape of the South Coast has remained virtu-ally unchanged,” he explained. “There is animmense power and dignity about Big Surwith its broad, golden shoulders set against

ANTHONY VITACCA’S business card identifies himas Montrio Bistro’s executive mixologist — not just “bar-tender.” And if anyone deserves such a title, he does. Afterall, not only are his speed and knowhow behind the busy bara sight to behold, but even when he’s not at work, he’s oftencontemplating new cocktail creations.

On any given night, Vitacca will deftly mix up somethingdelicious, place it in front of one of his favorite regulars, andsay, “I just made this up, and it doesn’t have a name, yet. Tellme what you think.” Past creations have amassed a devoted,if not rabid, following, such as the Kama Sutra, whichincludes Vitacca’s own saffron-infused gin, his “magicelixir,” and foam he makes using St. Germain elderflowerliqueur, water, lemon juice and pasteurized egg whites. Whenhe has time, he flames the top for added effect.

Last week, he showed off a beautiful seltzer bottle — oneof the items in his collection of high-quality bar tools — heuses to make ginger beer to incorporate in a range of newcocktails, including one as-yet-unnamed concoction that alsocalls for natural apricot jam, citrus juice, mint, Cinar arti-choke liqueur from Italy, Canton ginger liqueur, bourbon andBitter Truth old-time bitters. Served over ice in a pint glass,it’s garnished with candied ginger and mint. The apricot pre-serves offer body and brightness to the drink, which strikes atasty balance of not too sweet and not too boozy. Vitacca said

to and basil butter over faro with tomatoes and olives, as wellas fennel-rubbed pork tenderloin with grilled figs.

After dinner, guests will be invited to pick berries for theminiature shortcakes that will be one of four desserts offeredthat night. Others in the lineup will be berry crisp withAlden’s vanilla ice cream, raspberry brown butter tarts andstrawberry jam bars.

Forty tickets are available for $95 per person. Visitwww.ediblemontereybay.com to learn more.

n Cima Collina’s grand openingCima Collina’s new tasting room in the historic Del

Monte Milk Barn in Carmel Valley Village is already opendaily from noon to 7 p.m., but the winery is planning to cel-ebrate its new venue Saturday, July 14, with wine tasting (ofcourse), hors d’oeuvres prepared by Michael’s Catering anddrawings for various prizes, all for free.

At the new tasting room, which includes seating indoorsand out, and even a chess board for anyone craving a game,

A master mixologist, Queen Latifah, and dinner in a farm fieldone of his missions is to create cocktails that hide some of theflavors in bourbon that some (mostly women, he has found)find objectionable, while capitalizing on its strengths. Histest subject is bourbon-hater and Montrio manager KathySolley.

While cocktails are his passion, Vitacca appreciates wellmade beers, too, and has been busy updating the restaurant’slineup, devoting time, effort and energy to researching hisoptions with the help of Blu Whelan, regional beer specialistfor Wine Warehouse. Vitacca showed off some new acquisi-tions, including favorite Straffe Hendrik quadrupel (11 per-cent alcohol — similar to the amount in wine) from Brugge,Belgium; beers incorporating strawberry, raspberry andchocolate; Erdinger hefe-weizen; and King Goblin SpecialReserve, which is 6.6 percent alcohol and “only brewed on afull moon,” according to the label. Also be sure to check outthe Grimbergen Double Ale.

Happy Hour is a perfect time to drop in for a cocktail atthe bar, especially with small bites available for just a fewbucks (the bacon-wrapped prawns are to die for), but to getthe full force of Vitacca’s personality and mixology knowl-edge, try visiting at a less busy time, before the 5 p.m. rushor later in the evening. The restaurant is located on CallePrincipal in Monterey. For more information or to make areservation, visit www.montrio.com.

action to protect our ratepayers.”Last summer, Monterey County officials

cited conflict of interest issues with formerwater resources board director StephenCollins as a reason for voiding the watercontracts. Based on the county’s announce-ment, project partner Cal Am pulled out ofthe project in January and is now pursuing itsown water project, which also includes adesal plant in Marina.

Monterey County Counsel CharlesMcKee responded Tuesday to Marina Coast’sclaim, saying the conflict of interest issuespresented “an insurmountable and, ultimate-ly, fatal obstacle to the regional project.”

While the county water agency, Cal Amand Marina Coast were in negotiations in2010 over what their project responsibilitieswould entail, they were also in discussionswith RMC for the contract to manage theproject, McKee said.

“While all this was happening,” heexplained, “MCWD and RMC secretly con-tracted with Collins to advocate their inter-ests in the project. Since Collins was, at thattime, a member of the [county wateragency’s] board of directors, this created asubstantial conflict of interest.”

McKee went on to say, that the “fault forcollapse of the project lays at the feet of

those who created this conflict of interest.”However, Marina Coast alleges the

Monterey County officials “caused” theCollins conflict, or should have known aboutit. The county also took actions that resultedin “unnecessary, avoidable and costly”delays to the regional desalination project,including failing to apply for low-interestfinancing and encouraging delay in theCalifornia Coastal Commission’s approval oftest wells for the desal plant, according toMarina Coast.

Marina Coast also contends that a reportit commissioned supports its “consistentposition that the allegations concerningCollins do not impact the validity” of thewater project agreements.

The Marina water agency has long arguedthe regional project is still a viable projectand the quickest one to meet a Dec. 31,2016, deadline set by the State WaterResources Control Board to have a newwater project up and running.

Litigation over the Peninsula’s waterproblems is piling up. Last week theMonterey County Board of Supervisorsannounced it was suing Cal Am, seekingjudicial blessing for a county ordinancerequiring new desal facilities to be publiclyowned. And McKee last week told The PineCone the county could file a motion in courtin an effort to dismiss a $25 million defama-tion lawsuit Collins’ filed against the countyin May.

issues, such as those pertaining to Agha’sproject.

That’s what happened June 28 at themayor’s meeting in Del Rey Oaks whenGarcia announced she was recusing herselffrom accepting a report from its technicaladvisory committee.

Garcia told The Pine Cone her recusalhad to do with $5,100 in campaign contribu-tions she received from Agha in March dur-ing her unsuccessful bid for county supervi-sor. Though Garcia said she didn’t receivedany complaints about a possible conflict, shesaid the Fair Political Practices Commissiontold her to err on the side of caution.

To avoid future perceptions of conflicts ofinterest, Garcia said she also may suggestanother council member take her place onthe mayor’s group. Councilman Bill Kampehas sat in for Garcia when she was unable toattend the meetings.

Meanwhile, Pacific Grove city council-man Robert Huitt, one of two councilmenwho voted against partnering with Agha,said the city should continue to be a part ofthe mayor’s group.

“I think we should stick with the [group],which was set up to allow the Peninsulacities to work together on water issues,” hetold The Pine Cone.

But the P.G. council voted June 20 to askthe other Peninsula cities to join its backingof Agha’s project. Garcia said this week she’sinformally discussed the idea with SeasideMayor Felix Bachofner, who she said “hasexpressed an interest” in joining PacificGrove. Garcia said she plans on approachingother cities before a July 19 council meetingthat’s been set to discuss the city’s futurerelationship with Agha. Carmel Mayor JasonBurnett told The Pine Cone Tuesday he does-n’t think joining P.G. in the water project is agood idea.

Agha and his supporters contend hisdesalination plant is the least expensive andcan be built the quickest to supply water toPeninsula customers.

But the city’s partnership with Agha facesskepticism, most notably from P.G. city man-ager Tom Frutchey, who released a report inlate June warning that the city’s involvementwith the project has “downside risks that faroutweigh the possible benefits” and said thecomplex water project was “way beyond thecity’s capabilities.”

Burnett said Frutchey’s report was “agood summary of the concerns.”

But Garcia criticized Frutchey for issuingthe report, which she said the council did notask for.

“I disagree with the way he did it,” shesaid, “because he didn’t follow the directionof the council.”

TRAILFrom page 1A

Herrmann told The Pine Cone. “I also tore a rotator cuff andfractured my neck. I eventually had 10 surgeries.”

Initially doctors suggested trying to save her leg. Butwhen Herrmann learned how difficult it might to rehabilitatethe limb, she made the decision three weeks after the crash tohave it amputated. An avid hiker, Herrmann decided she’dtake her chances with a prothetic leg.

Three months after the motorcycle accident, Herrmannvisited Point Lobos and tested out the upgraded Bird IslandTrail in a wheelchair, and on her prothetic leg. She ended upwalking the entire mile-long round trip.

“I’m thrilled to be up again,” she said. “It’s been verychallenging. Before the accident, I was walking 10 miles aweek. Hiking was a huge part of my life.”

Officials from California State Parks and the California

Conservation Corps will dedicate the trail Wednesday, July11, in a private ceremony. Hermann plans to attend at theevent.

“The trail is the culmination of many hours of work,” saidLarry Tierney, a state parks facilities manager. “It will nowallow visitors access to the entire Bird Island trail, includingPelican Point. Our department realizes the importance ofPoint Lobos and wants to make it as accessible as possible.”

Work began on the trail in March 2011. According toTierney, the project cost taxpayers between $750,000 and $1million. The Point Lobos Foundation, meanwhile, spentabout $100,000 for an archaeological report.

While Point Lobos already has three wheelchair-accessi-ble trails, upgrading the Bird Island Trail was state parks’most ambitious effort.

“There were steps that needed to be eliminated andchanges in elevation,” Tierney explained. “We had some pret-ty good-sized rock retaining walls over China Cove thatneeded to be constructed. A lot of material was moved and it

all had to be done by hand with wheelbarrows.”The Bird Island Trail — which begins at the southernmost

of parking areas at Point Lobos — is about a half-mile long.Other wheelchair-accessible hiking routes at Point Lobosinclude the Sea Lion Point Trail, the Carmelo Meadows Trail,and the Granite Point Trail.

found violating the rule could be fined $100to $200, and refusal to follow it could resultin revocation of a store’s business license.

“The production and disposal of single-use plastic bags causes significant environ-mental impacts including contamination ofthe environment, the deaths of marine ani-mals through ingestion and entanglement,and widespread litter,” the new law reads.

While other municipalities’ bag bansinclude provisions that retailers charge cus-tomers for paper bags, business people inCarmel worried the dime fee would upsettheir customers and hurt sales, so the council

decided not to include that requirement.Instead, a task force comprising members ofthe Carmel Chamber of Commerce and envi-ronmental group Sustainable Carmel isworking to develop a voluntary programencouraging people to bring bags with them.

The “effort to promote use of reusablebags and discourage use of single-use paperbags” was the topic of a council workshopMonday, Mayor Jason Burnett told the audi-ence at the July 3 meeting. He said the taskforce will begin researching what sort ofbags businesses use, what kind of bags cus-tomers carry out the door and what ends upbeing discarded as trash on the beach.

“They will measure to establish baselineuse, and then we can track it a year from nowto measure whether or not we are seeingprogress,” he said.

decreases.In debating the wording for the ballot,

council members wondered how best to usethe 75 words they are permitted by law. “Themore specific you can be, the better,” MayorJason Burnett said.

At one point, councilwoman VictoriaBeach asked if “Carmel-by-the-Sea” iscounted as one word, since it’s hyphenated,but Freeman said he wasn’t “going to takeany risk” by making that assumption.

Ultimately, they decided to ask voters if

the city should increase the sales tax “tomaintain essential services, including fire,ambulance and police response times; fundcapital needs, including streets, beach, parks,forest and trails; increase code compliance;maintain libraries, Sunset Center and otherpublic facilities; address CalPERS pensionliabilities and other debt; and provide othergeneral city services.”

At the July 3 meeting, the council unani-mously approved the ordinance, adopted aresolution giving notice of a special election,and asked Monterey County to add the mea-sure to the Nov. 6 ballot.

“There’s a lot that will go on between nowand November,” Burnett observed.

THE TAXPAYERS’ group that foughtimplementation of the Monterey PeninsulaWater Management District user fee is nowwaging a battle to try to have the chargeoverturned. The fee went into effect July 1.

Monterey Peninsula Taxpayers’Association president Ron Pasquinelli toldThe Pine Cone his group is mailing 20,000petition forms Friday encouraging propertyowners within the water district’s jurisdictionto sign and mail a document asking them toput the user fee issue to a vote. More letterswill be mailed Monday.

The taxpayers’ group, Pasquinelli said,needs 3,514 forms mailed back, which repre-sent 10 percent of the registered voters wholast voted in the state’s gubernatorial elec-tion. The item could appear on a ballot asearly as November, Pasquinelli said.

The petition form requires registeredproperty owners to print and sign their nameand include their address. But the processwill need to move quickly since Pasquinelli

said his group wants the forms returned byJuly 20 to meet the July 27 Monterey CountyElections Office deadline.

The water district contends the $3.7 mil-lion generated by the user fee, which will betacked onto property tax rolls, will help payfor two crucial water projects it says areessential.

A protest bid launched by the MontereyCounty Association of Realtors and the tax-payers’ association fell short to stop the feefrom going into effect. The district received10,343 eligible protest notices out of the15,255 required in order to halt the fee.

rectly identified the builder of Robles DelRio as M.J. Murphy. Michael PorterMarquard informed us that it was his grand-father, Frank B. Porter, who actually built theCarmel Valley resort.

Editorial

Never mind the ‘penalty,’what about the taxes?

THE STRANGEST part of the national debate after the Supreme Court

upheld Obamacare last week wasn’t the idiotic back-and-forth over whether the

mandate that everyone have health insurance was a “penalty” or a “tax.” What

was really strange was the admission by White House Chief of Staff Jacob Lew

that the penalty/tax would only affect “one percent of the population” — people

he claimed can afford private health insurance but refuse to buy it.

You might ask why, if so few people will pay the penalty/tax, the White

House fought so hard to retain it. But a better question is the same one we’ve

been asking on this page for almost two years: If the new revenue generated by

Obamacare is a measly penalty/tax paid by a few people, how can the country

possibly afford all the stuff Obamacare gives away?

The cost of full implementation of Obamacare has been estimated by the non-

partisan Congressional Budget Office to be $1.76 trillion over its first 10 years.

And many people think that’s a low-ball figure.

Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, for instance, says the cost of the Obama

health care law will be at least $2.6 trillion over those 10 years, and that its

unfunded long-term mandates add up to $17 trillion.

Where is all that money supposed to come from? Much of it will simply be

added to the federal deficit, which means future generations will have to deal

with it, if the U.S. economy doesn’t collapse completely in the mean time.

The rest will come from you, of course. And in this week’s Monterey County

Herald, local financial analyst Ken Peterson broke down some of the big tax

increases you’re likely to face beginning next year. It’s a list that makes the

insurance mandate penalty/tax look like peanuts:

■ Imposition of a 3.8 percent Medicare tax on many types of income, includ-

ing investment income above $250,000 a year for a married couple, dividends,

rents, royalties, interest, short- and long-term capitals gains, profit of more than

$250,000 from the sale of a principal residence, income from the sale of other

real estate, and passive income from a partnership or LLC.

■ Increases in federal income tax and capital gains tax rates (too complicat-

ed to list here).

■ Phase-outs of personal exemption and itemized deductions.

■ Increased deduction limits for medical expenses.

■ An expanded marriage penalty.

■ A reduction in the estate tax exemption from $5.1 million to $1 million,

and an increase in the estate tax rate from 35 percent to 55 percent.

On top of all that, at least 20 new taxes are part of the Obamacare law, includ-

ing a levy on medical devices (such as braces for your kids, a stent for your

heart, and a wheelchair for an aging relative). It also imposes new taxes on drugs

and penalties on Health Savings Accounts and “Cadillac” health insurance

plans. Etc., etc.

For tens of millions of Americans, April 15 is the day when they receive a big

check of government benefits. Now, Obamacare is about to become another

great big, wonderful Christmas stocking of free goodies. The big city media

focus all their attention on the happy people who are looking forward to receiv-

ing these new benefits.

Of course, they ignore those of you who already pay for your own share of

government services, plus the share enjoyed by 15 or 20 other people. For you,

income tax day, as you well know, is a day you send in a big check. And

Obamacare is about to make it much, much bigger.

‘Everybody paying fair share’Dear Editor:

We read with interest your denunciationof the Affordable Care Act as a government“giveaway” financed by the tax-paying citi-zens. You must be aware that the U.S. has themost expensive and dysfunctional medicalsystem in the world. Thirty million peoplehave no health insurance and are dependentupon emergency rooms, which is among themost expensive treatment available.

We spend 18 percent of the GDP onhealth care and it is rising faster than infla-tion. The reason for legislation of this type isto control costs by including everybody inthe system. Just like Social Security, anotherprogram that you probably would denounceif it were being voted upon today.

Congressional budgeteers have predictedthe insolvency of this country if the systemcontinues as is constituted today.

Some of us feel that health care is a right.My wife lost her coverage under my policywhen she developed breast cancer. Neither ofmy daughters could get health care coveragebecause of minor orthopedic problems andmental health issues. The next step is costcontrol. Please do not write more editorialsabout “death panels” and that sort.

We all need to get together to controlthese costs, with everybody paying their fair

Can’t afford health premiumsDear Editor,

I am moved to write in response to theeditorial on President Obama’s currentHealthcare Plan and its recent acceptance bythe US Supreme Court.

The author of this editorial made a HUGEand UNFAIR assumption about thoseAmericans who support the President’s plan.The author claims that those of us who haveno healthcare insurance are somehow “tak-ers” or “slackers” that pay no taxes. He stat-ed that those that do have health insurancehave to support us or pay for us.

Speaking for myself, I, unfortunately,have no healthcare insurance. This is notbecause I don’t want health insurance butbecause I can’t pay the monthly premiums.By the way, I am in good, stable health withno pre-existing conditions. I am, however,under-employed and paying upwards of $400per month is not in my budget.

A direct question: Does the author of thiseditorial really believe that our currenthealthcare system functions efficiently andeffectively? The overwhelming majority ofpeople would truthfully and thoughtfullyrespond NO.

Please get real. Open your eyes and talkto your neighbors. We/They have stories totell about healthcare coverage, healthcareexpenses, and the lack of proper care.

“100 Years of Combined Experience”

Monterey’s Premier Independent

INDEPENDENCE DAY is a fabulous time to take thepulse of our government, to check the health of our institu-tions and to linger over the grill with a cold one.

And just when you think that the United States hasreached the pinnacle of ideological hell — that nothing mat-ters anymore unless it means you can pound your opponentinto submission — along comes John Roberts.

The shriekers are predictably aghast. They suggest thechief justice ought to be drawn and quartered for his traitor-ous and cowardly opinion to uphold Romneycare. Or is itObamacare? I seem to recall that one of them was a cleverand nuanced solution to an out-of-control health-care system.Until it wasn’t.

Be that as it may, knees are jerking at a record pace thesedays.

Some day, when the infantile malarkey that is confusedfor “modern political debate” subsides, history will remem-ber that at least one Supreme Court justice had the strengthof character to take a courageous stand on an issue at a timein which a single deviation from the Party Line is grounds forexcommunication among full-throated, self-proclaimed par-liamentarians for the righteous.

When asked to actually think about an important issue,Roberts performed his duty.

When asked to actually think about it, Roberts reached aconclusion without regard for the cynics who assume a smartguy will always think like them, will always embrace the sim-ple collective opinion.

When asked to actually think about it, he adhered to thefacts of the matter and followed his job description.

Roberts is a breath of fresh air in this toxic political envi-ronment, a fellow capable of asserting independent thoughtamid a chorus of one-note shriekers.

Roberts didn’t follow the script. The best thing about Roberts’ verdict on the Affordable

Care Act last week is the certainty that he will render anoth-er opinion sometime soon that will bedevil the shriekers atthe other end of the spectrum. Shriekers like me.

I can live with that. I can live with the notion that some-

will survive reason. I’m not certain it can withstand the cyn-ical manipulations of ideologues, and I’m grateful theSupreme Court is there to foil them.

To demand that Supreme Court justices adhere to the

A courageous decision — whether you agree with it or notone can disagree — that someone can uphold a law I pas-sionately despise or destroy a policy I heartily endorse — ifI am confident that the action was the result of honest anddisciplined consideration, a fair application of legal stan-dards.

ELECE OTTEN started out life in La Grande, Oregon, asmall community in the northeast part of the state. When shewas six years old, her father was killed in a tractor accident.A doctor with a wife and four young children, he didn’t leavemuch money to take care of his family. So Elece’s motherwent back to school to get her Masters degree so she couldteach. “My mom always ingrained in us that we had to be

successful. That we had to take care of ourselves, if our hus-band dies.” Marriage and back-up, so to say.

Elece knew as a child, “I just definitely wanted to be suc-cessful in my own right. I wanted to accomplish somethingand be proud of myself. I wanted to be in business. I had avery clear image of myself being in a high-towered blackbuilding.”

She studied math and computer science, first at OregonState in Corvallis and then at UCLA. And then, “I got a pro-gramming job and I quit school. And I continued in pro-gramming and got a series of jobs and promotions, but I wasjust bored. For a young girl, looking down all the time, writ-ing code ... it was torture for me. So I got into sales.”Specifically, headhunting: “You find a person, you find a job,you make a placement, you get a fee.”

Elece had a natural ability for finding the right people, but

the spiritual and philosophi-cal isms we think of as NewAge. “I really believe thatwe’re exactly where we wantto be. We might moan orgroan, ‘Aw I wanna do thisor that.’ But if that were real-ly true, you would be doingthat.”

She adds, “You can’t relyon somebody else to do whatyou want. To get you whatyou want, you have to do ityourself.” By the way, a yearafter she started her compa-ny, she moved into a spaceon the 22nd floor of a blackbuilding.

In addition to her work,she is vice chair on the board of Sunset Center. And, for her-self, she swims, does pottery, and is going to get back topainting. What do these activities do for her? “They scratchthe other side of my brain, because when I’m focused on ana-lytical things, the other side of my brain needs it.”

A young girl’s high-tech ambition begets an inspiring careershe also realized that she couldn’t do it alone. If she wantedher clients to take her seriously, she needed a full-scale oper-ation.

So she built a company — Login Consulting Services,based in El Segundo — which she has grown impressivelyover the past sixteen years. Elece is president, but she alsohas an executive vice president who handles the day-to-day,overseeing 120 consultants in the field and 20 sales andrecruiting staff in the office. In the old days – not so long ago– such work meant placing want ads all over the place. Nowthey search the online sites such Monster.com, mine theirown database, and take referrals.

Elece says it’s hard to find good sales people, so theyoften grow them out of their own operation, usually from thepeople whom they first hired as recruiters. “Not everyrecruiter can move into sales.” The qualities of a good sales-person, she says, are tenacity combined with being pleasantand likeable; they also have to know their business, makerelationships, and be sincere and honest.

“Lots of people have most of it,” she said. “But, if youhave everything except stick-to-it-iveness, forget it.”

Elece loves what she does and gives no thought to retire-ment. She lives in Carmel full time, a couple of blocks fromthe beach, with her husband, recent city council candidateTom Leverone, and their eight-year-old golden retriever,Molly. Through telephone and email, she keeps her hand in.“I’m not working in the business, I’m just working on thebusiness,” she said. That means lining up acquisitions. Shealso makes regular appearances at the office. “You get a lit-tle anxious sometimes and you want to go down and seeeveryone; and have them see you, most importantly.”

How does she make decisions? “If it’s a financial deci-sion, I’ll run the numbers. I have to do that, because I lovenumbers. They make sense to me. If it’s about a person, it’s agut decision.” Ultimately, “If it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.If there’s something wrong, you don’t need to know why. Justdon’t go there, don’t be with that person, just move away. ”

She has intermingled her traditional Christian beliefs with

dreck of idiot politics is to diminish the last hope of protec-tion from ourselves.

The two major political parties were locked in similar par-tisan nonsense in 1868, over the future of Reconstruction,and plenty of unreasonable expectations were placed uponSupreme Court justices about how they should rule.

“When we become capable of believing our SupremeJudges can so belittle themselves and their great office as toread the Constitution of the United States through blurringand distorting spectacles, it will be time for us to put on sack-cloth and ashes,” Mark Twain wrote, in response to the hys-teria of the times.

Lost in today’s yammering response to the Supreme Courtruling on health-care reform is a fundamental message aboutpatriotism, the U.S. Constitution and the intrinsic value ofour republic. For a bright and shining moment, Robertsreminded Americans that the rule of law and the integrity ofAmerican institutions trump political expediency.

In this day and age, that amounts to an act of courage.If nothing else, Roberts saved us from a future of sack-

cloth and ashes.
